Stu Levy holds his head so high that I swear I’m only seeing the underside of his chin- total arrogance, something indicative of a totally unwanted geek. He must have money. I couldn’t get through his Otaku show because of his pitiful mannerisms… which most people likely don’t pay attention to or can grasp.
